Q: ViewPager (RecyclerView) with custom item count doesn't update data properly I've created an adapter (extending ListAdapter with DiffUtil.ItemCallback) for my RecyclerView. It's an ordinary adapter with several itemViewTypes, but it should be smth like cyclic, if API sends flag and dataset size is > 1 (made by overriding getItemCount() to return 1000 when conditions == true).
When I change app locale through app settings, my fragment recreates, data loads asynchronously (reactively, several times in a row, from different requests, depending on several rx fields, which causes data set to be a combination of data on different languages just after locale is changed (in the end all dataset is correctly translated btw) (make it more like synchronous is not possible because of feature specifics)), posting its values to LiveData, which triggers updates of recycler view, the problem appears:
After last data set update some of the views (nearest to currently displayed and currently displayed) appear not to be translated.
Final data set, which is posted to LiveData is translated correctly, it even has correct locale tag in its id. Also after views are recycled and we return back to them - they are also correct.
DiffUtil is computed correctly also (I've tried to return only false in item callbacks and recycler view still didn't update its view holders correctly).
When itemCount == list.size everything works fine.
When adapter is pretending to be cyclic and itemCount == 1000 - no.
Can somebody explain this behaviour and help to figure out how to solve this?
Adapter Code Sample:
private const val TYPE_0 = 0
private const val TYPE_1 = 1

class CyclicAdapter(
    val onClickedCallback: (id: String) -> Unit,
    val onCloseClickedCallback: (id: String) -> Unit,
) : ListAdapter<IViewData, RecyclerView.ViewHolder>(DataDiffCallback()) {

var isCyclic: Boolean = false
    set(value) {
        if (field != value) {
            field = value
        }
    }

override fun getItemCount(): Int {
    return if (isCyclic) {
        AdapterUtils.MAX_ITEMS // 1000
    } else {
        currentList.size
    }
}

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    return when (viewType) {
        TYPE_0 -> Type0.from(parent)
        TYPE_1 -> Type1.from(parent)
        else -> throw ClassCastException("View Holder for ${viewType} is not specified")
    }
}

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
    when (holder) {
        is Type0 -> {
            val item = getItem(
                AdapterUtils.actualPosition(
                    position,
                    currentList.size

        else -> throw ClassCastException("View Type for ${item.javaClass} is not specified")
    }
}

class Type0 private constructor(itemView: View) :

                    LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)
            }
            return Type0(view)
        }

            acceptData(viewData)
            setOnClickedCallback { url ->
                onClickedCallback(viewData.id)
            }
            setOnCloseClickedCallback(onCloseClickedCallback)
        }

            }

        }
    }
}
}

ViewPager Code Sample:
class CyclicViewPager @JvmOverloads constructor(
context: Context,
attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
defStyleAttr: Int = 0
) : FrameLayout(context, attrs, defStyleAttr),
ICyclicViewPager {

private val cyclicViewPager: ViewPager2

private lateinit var onClickedCallback: (id: String) -> Unit
private lateinit var onCloseClickedCallback: (id: String) -> Unit
private lateinit var adapter: CyclicAdapter

init {
    LayoutInflater
        .from(context)
        .inflate(R.layout.v_cyclic_view_pager, this, true)

    cyclicViewPager = findViewById(R.id.cyclic_view_pager)

    (cyclicViewPager.getChildAt(0) as RecyclerView).apply {
        addItemDecoration(SpacingDecorator().apply {
            dpBetweenItems = 12
        })
        clipToPadding = false
        clipChildren = false
        overScrollMode = RecyclerView.OVER_SCROLL_NEVER
    }

    cyclicViewPager.offscreenPageLimit = 3
}

override fun initialize(
    onClickedCallback: (id: String) -> Unit,
    onCloseClickedCallback: (id: String) -> Unit
) {
    this.onClickedCallback = onClickedCallback
    this.onCloseClickedCallback = onCloseClickedCallback

    adapter = CyclicAdapter(
        onClickedCallback,
        onCloseClickedCallback,
    ).apply {
        stateRestorationPolicy = RecyclerView.Adapter.StateRestorationPolicy.PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY
    }

    cyclicViewPager.adapter = adapter
}

override fun setState(viewPagerState: CyclicViewPagerState) {

    when (viewPagerState.cyclicityState) {

        is CyclicViewPagerState.CyclicityState.Enabled -> {
            adapter.submitList(viewPagerState.pages) {
                adapter.isCyclic = true

                cyclicViewPager.post {
                    cyclicViewPager.setCurrentItem(
                        // Setting view pager item to +- 500
                        AdapterUtils.getCyclicInitialPosition(
                            adapter.currentList.size
                        ), false
                    )
                }
            }
        }

        is CyclicViewPagerState.CyclicityState.Disabled -> {
            if (viewPagerState.pages.size == 1 && adapter.isCyclic) {
                cyclicViewPager.setCurrentItem(0, false)
                adapter.isCyclic = false
            }

            adapter.submitList(viewPagerState.pages)
        }
    }
}
}

Adapter Utils Code:
object AdapterUtils {
const val MAX_ITEMS = 1000

fun actualPosition(position: Int, listSize: Int): Int {
    return if (listSize == 0) {
        0
    } else {
        (position + listSize) % listSize
    }
}

fun getCyclicInitialPosition(listSize: Int): Int {
    return if (listSize > 0) {
        MAX_ITEMS / 2 - ((MAX_ITEMS / 2) % listSize)
    } else {
        0
    }
}
}

Have tried not to use default itemView variable of RecyclerView (became even worse).
Tried to make diff utils always return false, to check if it calculates diff correctly (yes, correctly)
Tried to add locale tags to ids of data set items (didn't help to solve)
Tried to post empty dataset on locale change before setting new data to it (shame on me, shouldn't even think about it)
Tried do add debounce to rx to make it wait a bit before update (didn't help)
UPD: When I call adapter.notifyDatasetChanged() manually, which is not the preferred way, everything works fine, so the question is why ListAdapter doesn't dispatch notify callbacks properly in my case?

A: The issue with ListAdapter is that it doesn't clearly state that you need to supply a new list for it to function.
In other words, the documentation says: (and I quote the source code):
    /**
     * Submits a new list to be diffed, and displayed.
     * <p>
     * If a list is already being displayed, a diff will be computed on a background thread, which
     * will dispatch Adapter.notifyItem events on the main thread.
     *
     * @param list The new list to be displayed.
     */
    public void submitList(@Nullable List<T> list) {
        mDiffer.submitList(list);
    }

The key word being new list.
However, as you can see there, all the adapter does is defer to the DiffUtil and calls submitList there.
So when you look at the actual source code of the AsyncListDiffer you will notice it does, at the beginning of its code block:
        if (newList == mList) {
            // nothing to do (Note - still had to inc generation, since may have ongoing work)
            if (commitCallback != null) {
                commitCallback.run();
            }
            return;
        }

In other words, if the new list (reference) is the same as the old one, regardless of their contents, don't do anything.
This may sound cool but it means that if you have this code, the adapter will not really update:
(pseudo...)
var list1 = mutableListOf(...)
adapter.submitList(list1)

list1.add(...)
adapter.submitList(list1)

The reason is list1 is the same reference your adapter has, so the differ exits prematurely, and doesn't dispatch any changes to the adapter.
Quite obscure, I know.
The solution, as pointed in many SO answers is to create a copy of the list itself.
Most users do
var list1 = mutableListOf(...)
adapter.submitList(list1)

var list2 = list1.toMutableList()
list2.add(...)
adapter.submitList(list2)

The call to toMutableList() creates a new list containing the items of list1 and so the comparison above if (newList == mList) { should now be false and the normal code should execute.
UPDATE
Keep in mind that a lot of developers make the mistake of...
var list = mutableListOf...
adapter.submitList(list)

list.add(xxx)

adapter.submitList(list.toList())

This doesn't work, because the new list you create, is referencing the same objects the adapter has. This means that both lists list and list.toList() are pointing to the same things despite being two instances of an ArrayList.
But the side-effect is that DiffUtil compares the items and they are the same, so no diff is dispatched to the adapter either.
The correct sequence is...
val list = mutableListOf(...)
adapter.submitList(list.toList())

// Make a copy first, so we can alter it as we please without the *current list held by the adapter* from being affected.
var modified = list.toMutableList()
modified.add(...)
adapter.submitList(modified)

A: After taking a look at your sample in GitHub, I was able to reproduce the issue. With only about 30-40 minutes of playing with it, I can say that I'm not 100% sure what component is not updating.
Things I've noticed.

*

*The onBindViewHolder method is not called when you change the locale (except maybe the 1st time?).

*I do not understand why the need to post to the adapter after you've submitted the list in the callback:
                       cyclicViewPager.setCurrentItem(
                            // Setting view pager item to +- 500
                            AdapterUtils.getCyclicInitialPosition(
                                adapter.currentList.size
                            ), false
                        )

Why ? This means the user loses their current position.
Why not keep the existing?

*I noticed you do cyclicViewPager.offscreenPageLimit = 3 this effectively disables the RecyclerView "logic" for handling changes, and uses instead the usual ViewPager state adapter logic of "prefetching/keeping" N (3 in your case) pages in "advance".
At first I thought this was causing issues, but removing it (which sets it to -1 which is the default and the "use RecyclerView" value, didn't make a big change (though I did notice some changes here and there, as in it would sometimes update the current one -but not the next ones within 2~3 pages).

The documentation says:

Set the number of pages that should be retained to either side of the currently visible page(s). Pages beyond this limit will be recreated from the adapter when needed. Set this to OFFSCREEN_PAGE_LIMIT_DEFAULT to use RecyclerView's caching strategy.

So I would have imagined that the default value would be aided by the ListAdapter and its DiffUtil. Doesn't seem to be the case.

*What I did try (among a few other things) was to see if the issue was in the actual adapter (or at least the viewPager dependency on its adapter). I ran out of time (work!) but I noticed that if you do:

  override fun setState(viewPagerState: CyclicViewPagerState) {
        when (viewPagerState.cyclicityState) {
            is CyclicViewPagerState.CyclicityState.Enabled -> {

                // call initialize again, to recreate the adapter
                initialize(this.onClickedCallback, this.onCloseClickedCallback)

                adapter.submitList(viewPagerState.pages) {
                    adapter.isCyclic = true
                    // Setting vp item to ... (code omitted for brevity)
                }

This works. It's theoretically less efficient as you're recreating the whole adapter, but in your example you're effectively creating an ENTIRE new set of data changing every ID, so in terms of performance, I'd argue this is more efficient as there's no need to recalculate changes and dispatch them, since to the eyes of the Diff Util, all the rows are different. By recreating the adapter, well... the VP has to reinit anyway.
I noticed this worked fine in your example.
I went ahead and added two more things, because the "silly" adapter cannot reliably tell you which position is the current... you can naively save it:
In CyclicViewPager:
var currentPos: Int = 0

init {
   ...
   this.cyclicViewPager.registerOnPageChangeCallback(object : OnPageChangeCallback() {
            override fun onPageSelected(position: Int)
                currentPos = position
            }
        })
}

And then
            is CyclicViewPagerState.CyclicityState.Enabled -> {
                initialize(this.onClickedCallback, this.onCloseClickedCallback)

                adapter.submitList(viewPagerState.pages) {
                    adapter.isCyclic = true
                    if (adapter.currentList.size <= currentPos) {
                        cyclicViewPager.setCurrentItem(currentPos, false)
                    } else {
                        cyclicViewPager.setCurrentItem(
                            // Setting view pager item to +- 500
                            AdapterUtils.getCyclicInitialPosition(
                                adapter.currentList.size
                            ), false
                        )
                    }
                }
            }

This does work, but of course, you're recreating the entire VP adapter again, so it may not be desired.
At this point, I'd either need to spend much more time trying to figure out which part of VP, RV, or its dependencies is not "dispatching" the correct data. My guess would be somewhere around some silly ViewPager optimization combined with Android terribly unreliable View system, not picking a message in the queue; but I may be also terribly wrong ;)
I hope someone smarter and/or with more coffee in their system can find out a simpler solution.
(all in all, I found the sample project relatively easy to navigate, but the design of your data a bit convoluted, but... as it was a sample, it's hard to tell what "real-life" data structures you really have).


Let us not beat about the bush – this campsite scores on the old 'location, location, location' chestnut, in a beautiful spot sandwiched between the beach and the mountains on the Llyn Peninsula, 10 miles south of Caernarfon. Negotiating a steep, narrow lane to the site, past the bumbling stream by the amenities block, feels like you are descending into a secret valley within the mountains. Drive past a covered games room and the owners' lovely house, past rows of white tourers and down to a joyous coastal 'Beach Field', a grassy patch so close to the sea as to be virtually in it. It can only be accessed by small vehicles and features 16 pitches with seven electric hook-ups.
Both grassy tiers of the campsite sharply meet the rugged coastline, where there is a tiny, partly sandy, wild beach full of rockpools to explore. Braver swimmers might attempt a quick dip – wild swimming is all part of Aberafon's package – but there are sandier swimming beaches along the peninsula. There is even a slipway to launch your sailing boat from, should you happen to carry one with you. Bringing canoes and kayaks is a better bet, or you can try wakeboarding at the local sporting venue, Glasfryn Park, near Pwllheli. Then of course, there's walking on the coastal path or up into the hills behind. Co-owner Hugh has regularly jumped off nearby Gyrn Goch mountain, which overlooks the campsite, strapped to a paraglider. If you're feeling equally adventurous, sign up with the local paragliding school. Otherwise, just let the kids safely enjoy their seaside surroundings: happy kids make happy parents, after all.
So how best to describe the charm of Aberafon? Great location? Superb situation? Or how about astonishing situation in a great location?
Nestled between mountains and the sea, this is a gem! A nice feel to the campsite with a good balance between useful amenities and not being overly commercial - it feels like camping should! We had a pitch at the bottom end of the field as close to the sea as you could get - stunning sunsets to frame the BBQ dinner. The beach is pebbles so not the best for your sand castles etc but a lovely place to stroll. There is a lovely stream running through the centre of the campsite adding another dimension and a nice place for kids to paddle. You can buy bags of wood in the shop and have fires down on the beach, a lovely thing to do of an evening. This campsite didn't seem to attract the rowdy crowds which meant that there was always a nice relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Me and a friend stayed over the spring bank holiday in 2x 4 man tents pitched back to back. The site is very picturesque right on the beach and we payed extra for a sea veiw. The host was very pleaseant and after checking in we didn't see her again. Pizza oven was on site from 5-8pm so evening food was sorted at £7 good value. We had a disposable barbeque for the following day and there is a morrisons/asda at nearby Caernarfon (9miles). Relatively quiet site a few families and children but all well behaved. No kids play area but there is the beach and a games room if weather is not so good. Only negative is nearby pub/restaurant too far too walk so would have to drive, did try too taxi firms but they weren't interested, apart from that Excellent.
A special 6 nights at Aberafon.
We have just come back from staying 6 nights at Aberafon. It was ideal for us and just as described in cool camping. It was full but relatively quiet for a bank holiday with well marked pitches, flat ground and simple but clean facilities. The field we stayed in only had tents around the edge which meant the children could play in the middle. Claire was lovely - always very helpful and we appreciated the use of the freezer for ice blocks, the tumble drier and small shop. We made the most of the beautiful surroundings with an evening walk up the mountain just behind the site (tougher than it looks); hired bikes from Bedgellert Bikes and took a 4 hour bike ride through the forest; had a fantastic lunch half way at a little cafe in Rydd Dhu, swam in the sea of a beautiful beach about 40 minutes up the coast and then took a walk up Snowdon. We don't often return to the same place twice but we might just do that this time! Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of the world with us.
I can't deny that the location is fab here. Lovely views and the kids loved being so close to the beach. The camping however is far from cool. We have never had to pitch our tent so close to other tents. They claim not to let groups in but they certainly did when we stayed here last summer. If you want a quiet spot for family camping pass this one by.
This site is lovely, with excellent toilets and showers. We were impressed that the showers were hot instantly and how clean the block was. 20p for 3mins seemed reasonable too. Fantastic sea views and good access to local amenities. Would return!
We have just got back from a weekend here. The site was easy to find and well sigh posted on the main road from Caernarfon. There is a narrow, rather steep road down past a small toilet block and a babbling stream you would think you was in the middle of a forest in the lake district, until you pass the owners house and into the field and the hole view opens up and all you can see is the sea in front and mountains all around. It is absolutely stunning! It is ideally located for days out in Caernarfon for the castle and a nice looking stam train ride can also recommend going to beddgelet which was beautiful for a day out walking and exploring.
The grass is very well maintained considering the time of year we were there and all the toilet blacks were clean with hardly any spiders (in fact I didn't see any) we had an amazing evening on the beach with a bbq and fire roasting marshmallows and watching the go down.
I would defenatly recommend this place and will certainly return, especially when the weather improves.
I'm a first time camper and just got back from our first family trip today. This place is beautiful, great views, Claire the owner is lovely and so helpful. We took a trip into nearby Canearfon but will definitely be going back to visit a few more places and to toast marshmallows on the beach. There is a children's play area that my 18 month old loved. We visited the beach and made sand castles. My 15 & 10 year old had a great time, we took along a few outdoor games with us. The facilities are clean, there are toilets within a short walk, the showers are abit further away. Great drive, very scenic. Our first night it was very windy but our tent stood firm but thereafter it wasn't so bad. We were blessed with fab weather too.
Had a lovely stay here last weekend. The site is fantastic. On location, it simply can't be beaten. Amazing mountain views and right on the coast. We pitched up and sat down just in time to enjoy a beer and a cracking sunset. The facilities are great. A bit of a trek to the only shower block but they were clean and empty. The beachside loos were handily located for us and the views from the washing up point are amazing! The free hot water for washing up is a nice touch. My only reservation about this site is the wind. We were in the newbie field i.e. the one with the best view but the worst of the wind. Our first night was blowy but OK. Our second night was armadeggon. If it's going to be windy, it will be VERY WINDY on the site so come prepared with extra pegs/screws and make sure you tie the tent down well. My son was fine in a lower profile tent protected by the hedge, but our icarus was blown about a lot. Others on the site abandoned in the early hours, so be warned! We will definitely return again however as the location, site, staff and facilities are all fantastic.
This was our first time camping with our young sons and we had a fantastic stay. We had a very friendly welcome from Claire, our pitch had beautiful views of the sea and the mountains. Going to sleep to the sounds of the waves was amazing. Generous pitch sizes, great beach for kids to explore, and nice clean facilities. We are going back in August. Highly recommended.
We arrived without prior booking on a very windy day. The chap in the office was friendly and really helpful, even suggesting that we could camp in a more sheltered pitch initially before moving to one with a better view later on in the week when the wind had died down. We decided to risk it and pitch up on a spot with a spectacular view, next to the llamas (or was it an alpaca?) field, overlooking the sea.
The scenery here is amazing and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. We decided to walk to a local pub only to find that it had closed down! There's a small gas station/shop about 1.5 miles away but nothing else within strolling distance. The site is about half way between Caenarfon and Pwllheli, so a good base camp.
The site was reasonably priced, well kept, pitches well marked out and the toilets and showers were clean. It had everything that I look for in a site. Beach access was great. Lots of wildlife to see. There were even some goats wandering around our field.
I would definitely return to this great site.
Nice place. Love it here.
Lovely views in every direction and the owners very helpful and accommodating which was very much appreciated. Very pleasant place for a camping stay.
This campsite is in a glorious location with mountains behind you and the sea in front of you (literally). When we arrived the owners were really helpful and friendly and despite it being July and fantastic weather it wasn't overcrowded, with pitches just round the outside of the fields. We wanted a get away from it experience which is what you get here, facilities are limited but very well done and nice and clean. The beach is what it's about though! a lovely long (mainly stony) beach with shallow water (we had a lovely swim). You will need to travel if you want pubs n shops, but this was my first experience camping in 20 years and I have the bug now.
This is easily one of the best campsites in Britain. Gorgeous views, beach access, evening fires and large open spaces. Kids loved it, we all loved it. Facilities basic but that only seems to add to this sites charm. Will be back soon.
From the moment we arrived on Friday night, I knew we'd made a great choice. The lady that greeted us was lovely. The pitch was a great size and the views out to see are stunning. There's an on site shop for essentials, a room with pool table and TV, perfect for the World Cup, and even a freezer for freezer blocks. There are supermarkets fairly near by, but to be honest, we never left the site for the whole weekend.
Would recommend for family with older children as that's what we are and we had a great time.
Lovely campsite, everything you require to get away from it all, including poor phone signal which takes a little time to get used to, but is worth it. Great clean showers and toilets.
The owners are lovely, laundry on site a little shop.
Going here yet again in july for a week and cant wait. You cant ask for anything more than whats on offer here. Id give it 10 stars if i could! Best campsite in Britain.
What a great campsite! They really do just let you get on with it once you've checked in. We went last week ago - so not school holidays and out of peak summer season - and it was quiet enough in the week for us not to see another camper. It picked up a bit at the weekend but we still only had one other group on the field we were on, which literally backed onto the beach. The site sells chopped wood so you can have a fire on the beach, which was a real highlight for us! It was pretty windy but we were still glad to pitch by the sea - the only disadvantage was that our camp stove was way less efficient in the breeze! We enjoyed barbecuing instead most nights though. There are a lot of rabbits around and they are pretty confident so I'm glad we didn't take our dogs as it would have been a nightmare stopping them trying to chase them - guess that's why they have to stay on leads. There were loads of lovely outings within an hour's drive: try the nature park in Llanberis, the Ty Coch Inn in Nefyn and Dylan's seafood restaurant in Menai Bridge.
Just spent two nights at Aberafon pitched right on the cliff top. Great views of the beach and the hills behind. It gets quite windy at times but there were more sheltered pitches available. We were a little disappointed there's no longer a pub within walking distance and the main shower block is quite far away from the tent fields.
Thank you thank you thank you for an amazing weekend.... Beautiful, we had camp fire on the beach watching the sun go down... What more can you ask for... Kids loved it... looking forward to coming back...Peace.
Great location right next to the beach,but open to the elements in bad weather,but there are more sheltered areas surrounded by woodland,will definitely be going back .
Fantastic views out to sea if you have a pitch overlooking the beach, although obviously comes with less protection from elements. Facilities ok. Was here on bank holiday weekend and whilst was very busy there was plenty of room with each pitch. Would recommend.
As an inexperienced camper (me) and a complete beginner (him) we didn't have anything with which to compare this, our first joint camping trip. However, from the minute we arrived we felt we were on to a winner, and sites we visit in future will have a lot to live up to. I can only agree with all the other reviews: this is a beautiful site, with stunning views, and, for a weekend at least, no need to go off site at all. It was, however, amazingly windy on the second night, although the actual wind speed wasn't epic - it just felt it up there on the top field. We camped, so no problem with the steep, narrow lane to get down to the site, but I spent a lot of time marvelling at how people with caravans had managed the extremely tricky bends. I learned that the owner will tow your van back up for you, which I can only imagine would come as a huge relief to many. I would definitely recommend this site and will look forward to going back.
a super site in coastal location. the beach isn't sandy, and parts of the site a bit exposed, but we were lucky enough to have a pitch down near the stream and had a wonderful time. the children loved paddling in the stream and messing about on the beach.
a small play area but enough for a site of that size.
we will definately return and probably ask for the same or similar pitch!
Pitches - medium sized, but can feel smaller due to large family-tent / group pitching.
Site - busy, verging on over-busy. Washing-up facilities inadequate for the number of campers.
Shower facilities - modern and clean, but again, inadequate to meet needs at peak times.
Weather - wind is a factor to be seriously considered! Daily forecasts availabe from Reception.
Overall: great site, but be prepared to queue for basics at holiday times. Out of season - fab !
We had a fab time here. We were on a field with a small play area which was perfect. The beach was minutes away and good for rock pools. The field we were on was quite exposed to the elements, which we were warned about by the owners. So make sure that you are guyed down well! We ate in the local pub, food was nice also quite a lot to do around the area. Would definitely go again.
65 pitches overall, for tents and tourers. 40 hook- ups.
Families, tents, campervans, caravans, dogs – yes. Groups – no.
Campfires permitted on the beach, wood available to buy. Clean but basic facilities – 1 shower/toilet block, with 13 toilets, 6 showers (3 male/femal), 4 urinals. Laundry facilities, dishwasher, ice-pack freezing, hook-ups at some pitches, TV and pool room. Onsite shop for daily essentials, open summer holiday only. BBQs permitted off the ground.
All sorts happening near by, including historic and rather quaint little town of Caernarfon, with its awesome castle (01286 677617), the Welsh Highland Railway steams from Caernarfon (01286 677018) all the way to Porthmadog through the mountains. The atmospheric Llechwedd Slate Caverns (01766 83036) are a must-see, whilst Penrhyn Castle at Bangor (01248 353084) is decadence on a massive scale. A bit nearer is the eccentric Caernarfon Airworld Museum (01286 830800). Cycle and walking tracks lead from the site to Clynnogfawr and Trefor, and bikes can be delivered (01753 798902; www.velovert.co.uk).

Take the A487 from Caernarfon south towards Porthmadog for 4 miles, then the A499 towards Pwllheli for 7 miles, then sharp right into very narrow lane at Gyrn Goch. If you are in a large vehicle or towing, the turn in is easier from the Pwllheli direction and you should pass the entrance and turn around at the roundabout a couple of miles further on.

Exchange student Jaqueline Rinaldi (right) and host parent Barb Smith.
Invermere's latest exchange student arrived a month ago from Italy and says she's enjoying the Columbia Valley so far.
Jaqueline Rinaldi came from Cartanissetta (on the island of Sicily) to the valley on August 30th and has been struck by the natural surroundings since setting foot in the valley.
In Italy, people have to drive out of town to get to large-scale natural green space, here you simply look out, since it's all around you, she said.
"Canada has many people, but it's a big country; Italy also has many people, but it's a small country," said Ms. Rinaldi, adding she does find the temperature here a bit colder than at home.
In Sicily, October temperatures are normally around 20 degrees Celsius. Temperatures in the valley last week hovered around 10 to 12 degrees Celsius.
The Rotary Club has been hosting the exchange students in Invermere for 35 years, and it's proven to be valuable both for visitors and their hosts.
exchange students in the past and still keep in regular contact with many of them.
But lately the Rotary Club has had trouble finding enough host families.
"Largely because of the challenge of finding host families, the club has opted not to continue the exchange program for the next few years," said Mr. Fisher. The break in the program will start next year.
The first family typically hosts the exchange student from late August until mid-December, the second family from December until spring break and the third family from spring break until late June or early July.
Ms. Rinaldi said she really likes to travel and that when choosing an exchange destination, North American locations were her first choice because the culture here is completely different than it is in her hometown.
Attending David Thompson Secondary School has also highlighted key differences in the Italian and Canadian school systems, she said. Ms. Rinaldi's high school in her hometown, like many in Sicily, tends to focus on specific subjects. In her case, her school focuses on science, she said.
"David Thompson is a little school, but it's nice," she said, adding she likes the freedom students here have to choose a variety of subjects in both arts and sciences as well as athletics.
The general pace of life in the valley seems easier and more relaxed than back home, according to Ms. Rinaldi.
"It's difficult to live and find work in Italy these days," she said.
Ms. Rinaldi and her first host parents — Barb and Darryl Smith — have been to Calgary once and have plans to hit the ski slopes this winter, something the Italian exchange student is eagerly anticipating.
Ms. Rinaldi will be in Invermere until June.
The Rotary Club is still looking for two host families for Ms. Rinaldi for the remainder of the school year.

Worldwide releases CEO and chairman Jimmy Wang along with his wife and company treasurer Mindy Wang
Markets & Finance, People
Worldwide Energy & Manufacturing USA, which supplies PV solar modules under the Amerisolar brand, has had a momentous week of executive changes. The company announced that on April 25, its board of directors removed Jimmy Wang as the company's CEO, chairman as well as from all other offices and positions that he held at Worldwide and with any of the company's subsidiaries and affiliates. The board also discharged Mindy Wang, wife of Jimmy Wang, on April 25, from all offices and positions she held at the company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, which included secretary and treasurer of Worldwide. Although both Jimmy and Mindy Wang will no longer serve in their former executive positions, they will remain on the board of directors.
In addition to the removal of Jimmy and Mindy Wang, Michael Toups, CFO for Worldwide, resigned from his position April 26. He had been acting as interim CFO since February. The company did not disclose further details regarding its release of Jimmy and Mindy Wang or the departure of Toups.
In light of the executive changes, Jeff Watson has been selected as Worldwide's president, CEO and interim secretary and treasurer. He has served as the company's president since January 2008 and joined the board as vice chairman in May 2010. Watson has over 23-years of manufacturing experience from different industries. Before his employment with Worldwide, Watson was president of Joslyn Sunbank and was an engineer in the power transmission industry with Fasco Gearmotors. He worked with Fasco until 2001 supporting the company with engineering and managerial position, including serving as general manager. Watson received his BS in mechanical engineering from the University of Missouri.
"The Board would like to thank Jimmy Wang for his crucial contribution to Worldwide's inception and development," said Watson. "Jimmy's vision in opening new doors for Worldwide created vast opportunities for this business. He successfully took the company from providing contract manufacturing services globally to also becoming a growing manufacturer of solar modules. As a fairly new entrant to the PV solar market, Worldwide has competed very successfully in this competitive space and has grown revenues significantly and consistently at higher rates than the industry."

Living on the road in my Prius provides me opportunity and time to make new friends and to visit with some friends, and relatives too.
Last September I was taking a friend from England on a two week tour of the southwest. While in Zion we ran into a couple from the neighboring community. We knew they were planning to go to Zion but from the itinerary they had originally provided it looked like we would miss them by a day.
The guy had been over picking my brain on where to stay and go on their trip as they had a family thing that their travels was planned around.
He was to pick my brain again before I left but didn't make it to the house for a visit before I left. I found out that he was traveling solo and was in Tucson this week.
Since I was returning to Tucson from eastern AZ I texted him and we met for dinner after we took respective hikes at either end of Tucson.
Come to find out he flew into Phoenix and rented a car and drove to New Mexico down I25 and across I10. He is headed to Phoenix for some spring training ball games then to Sedona, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, before heading back to Phoenix and then off to see his west coast children for a visit.
A number of people are interested in what life is on the road. I look to this blog to convey the realities of my life on the road and what I do with my time. I don't find it hard to keep busy. I find it hard to take down time.
- Attended the RTR / met up with old and new friends.
- Spent week in San Diego with youngest son and family.
This has been my routine so far this year.
- Visit aunt outside Chicago.
Along with my future plans I have my backcountry hike and many other things to see and do.
I am not suffering from boredom.
I was going to try to sneak a game in this week but my focus has been on getting ready for the backcountry hike. Will try to get to see some disc golf pros too.


A basic bridge circuit which consists of three known resistances, R1, R2, and R3 (variable), an unknown variable resistor RX (RTD), a source of voltage, and a sensitive ammeter.
Resistors R1 and R2 are the ratio arms of the bridge. They ratio the two variable resistances for current flow through the ammeter. R3 is a variable resistor known as the standard arm that is adjusted to match the unknown resistor. The sensing ammeter visually displays the current that is flowing through the bridge circuit. Analysis of the circuit shows that when R3 is adjusted so that the ammeter reads zero current, the resistance of both arms of the bridge circuit is the same. Equation below shows the relationship of the resistance between the two arms of the bridge.
The value of Rx can be calculated for the bridge during an ammeter zero current condition. Knowing this resistance value provides a baseline point for calibration of the instrument attached to the bridge circuit.
The bridge operates by placing Rx in the circuit, as shown in Figure 8, and then adjusting R3 so that all current flows through the arms of the bridge circuit. When this condition exists, there is no current flow through the ammeter, and the bridge is said to be balanced.
When the bridge is balanced, the currents through each of the arms are exactly proportional. They are equal if R1 = R2. Most of the time the bridge is constructed so that R1 = R2. When this is the case, and the bridge is balanced, then the resistance of Rx is the same as R3, or Rx = R3.
The unbalanced bridge circuit uses a millivoltmeter that is calibrated in units of temperature that correspond to the RTD resistance.
The balanced bridge circuit uses a galvanometer to compare the RTD resistance with that of a fixed resistor. The galvanometer uses a pointer that deflects on either side of zero when the resistance of the arms is not equal. The resistance of the slide wire is adjusted until the galvanometer indicates zero. The value of the slide resistance is then used to determine the temperature of the system being monitored.
